Accidental bowel leakage affects a significant part of the population — 1 in 10 people at some time in their lives — and is much more common in women than in men. It’s a difficult topic that many are embarrassed to discuss, but it can affect women of all stages of life, from new mothers to the elderly.

The good news is that, the more the medical community has come to understand what causes involuntary bowel leakage, the more we’ve been able to develop effective treatments. Rest assured, accidental bowel leakage does not have to diminish your quality of life.
